What does the future of design looks like?

Technology is changing very fast and you might be wondering what is the future of design? What does designing for the future means and what are the trends we need to consider now? It is a hard question to face but we want to give you some idea about it since time will lapse very fast.

Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality

Marketing, the internet and games will be changing pretty past in the next couple of years. It will no longer just be virtual reality but the norm will be augmented reality where fiction and reality blends together.

If you want to survive in marketing your brands and products in the next coming years you have to invest highly on making sure that your brand or product projects well with reality. Games will no longer be just 2D and 3D because players want to see them and be immersed with the experience entirely. If you have watched the movie Tron or the Anime Sword Art Online, it will be much like that. Exciting or scary? Well, for me it will be both.

User Experience is King

Online content and other engagement will have a lot to do with user experience. It will no longer be just about prices, quality, or even usability but rather how a product or an online website or apps add to the experience of the user.

The greater user experience something gives the better chance that users will eventually give it a try and stay loyal to it. The future of design and future designers should definitely learn how to stir up and improve user experience.

Futuristic Infrastructure

Designing for the future is not confined with the internet, nor with games or online media. Design for infrastructure like buildings, automobiles and more will greatly be different and life changing. Expect to be ready for new building concepts like you have never imagined is possible before.

Travel to outer space might just be a reality in the next few years. This means lots of new things for design including futuristic clothing, vehicles and event mode of marketing as man sets its eyes on the heavens.

Designing for the future: trends we need to consider now

There are lots of trends happening now and what we discussed above might just be a few of them. I joined the Design Blogger Competition to contribute to what I think will be a needed design perspective in the future.

Technology will be the key factor in how the future of design will evolve. We are seeing rapid advances in technology like we had never experience before and what you know the world we see in Jetsons might just be a few years away.
